“Night” will be coming out into the light

Academy Award nominated director M.Night Shyamalan, who shoots his films in the Philadelphia region and is most famous for “The Sixth Sense” will celebrate the first-decade anniversary of “Unbreakable.” The filmmaker will appear at a screening and answer questions afterward. The intriguing PG-13 fantasy thriller stars Bruce Willis, Samul L. Jackson and Robin Wright.

According to Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, his appearance ranks as a wonderful opportunity for movie fans.

“I’m excited about the 10th anniversary of ‘Unbreakable’ and I’m thrilled that Night is presenting the film,” she said at a Center City media gathering to announce the festival’s guests and schedule. “He’s getting in touch with Philadelphia fans who admire him so much.”

“10th Anniversary Screening of ‘Unbreakable’/An Evening With M. Night Shyamalan” will be held Oct. 21 at 7:20 p.m. at the Prince Music Theater.

In addition to celebrating “Unbreakable,” the festival will be showing another 106 films from Oct. 14 to 24.

I think that Night is doing a lot to help his image. Making public appearances such as this is very helpful. Next thing that I think he needs is a slamdunk at the theater (one that gets insanely great reviews from people that have written him off).

Just got home from this event. Night was there along with several members of his family and even some crew members from Unbreakable. The Q&A was only 30 minutes, but Night tried to extend it as long as the theater would let him. Excellent, excellent event. I hope he does this in 2 years to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Signs!

I took some pics and video, but it was so dark it didn’t come out that well.
